Thinking of buying FIFA 14 for the Vita this year? It's probably best you hold off on that, especially if you own FIFA 13. People had presumed there'd be overwhelming similarities, EA had even confirmed it, but this is actually beyond ridiculous. The Legacy editions contain no gameplay changes whatsoever, and you can see it with a single glimpse at this $40 title.

Fresh out of TGS, Square Enix have released an English version of their new Final Fantasy X/X-2 trailer. It shows off a little from X and a little from X-2 and shows off some of the battle sequences we can expect to go through when the Remastered pack launches this Winter - perhaps a confirmation that it won't be available until next year.

There have been plenty of attempts to recreate the first-person shooter experience on handheld, many of them either missing the mark or ending in a complete disaster. Well, Sony and Guerrilla Cambridge have aimed to change all that with Killzone: Mercenary, a spin-off of their popular console franchise that puts players in the role of Arran Danner, a gun-for-hire soldier willing to take on any dirty job, as long as it pays well.

The Vita TV is a pretty exciting prospect, allowing those with no interest in a portable handheld to play a great collection of titles at a low price from the comfort of their TV. There's one thing that we don't know, however, and that's exactly how Vita TV is going to make up for not having a rear and front touch pad.

Sony have today announced Vita TV, a device that does everything the Vita does, without the portability. By plugging the device into your TV, you can play the latest Vita titles like you would any other game. Available for $99 and compatible with every feature of the Vita, Vita TV is a cheaper option for those that don't necessarily want the Vita device, but want to play the games available for the system.

Bit of an average week for releases. The featured game this week is none other than Diablo III. Will console gamers welcome it with open arms or will it be largely ignored? Only time will tell. Other releases this week includes Mickey Mouse making a comeback, a couple rhythm games, a farmer's dream game and a return to Helghan.

Rayman Legends on the Vita is not quite as complete as what you would get if playing on any of the other consoles. Released to pretty much all main consoles last week, the portable version of Ubisoft's wacky platformer lacks any of the Invasion levels found on PS3, 360 and Wii U.

The Vita is a treasure trove of titles, offering more or less everything you might want to play within only a few taps of your grasp. Real Boxing is the first of its kind though, and is the sort of game you might not know you want until you see it. With a sharp idea unavailable anywhere else on the Vita, you may be able to overlook the fairly constant shortcomings and see your boxer through to the final belt.

It's possible that a Vita entry in the Infamous franchise may be in the works. This was perhaps unwittingly revealed during an interview with Nate Fox of Sucker Punch.

A great week for releases with something for everyone. The featured game for this week is none other than Final Fantasy XIV Online. Will the MMO impress or will we be choking the Chocobo this time next week in a fit of rage? Only time will tell.
